First of all, I wanna say Thank You to the author and her assistant for let me read Born Sinner. I've read some of her books before (contemporary romance books), I loved her writing, so I couldn't refuse the chance to read this one.

Born Sinner is an intense story. I was surprised by a trepidant plot, deep characters and intense emotions. The premise of being walking among demons was appealing, also their fight against the urge for sin. 

Eden is a tortured soul with a dark past, she also has some weird and dangerous abilities. This girl has a sad background. With no family or friends, except for Sister, Eden is one of those persons who could just vanish without nobody to notice it.

L, for the other hand, is a fighter. He was doomed but he has a mission: Destroy the evil from this world. L and Eden were from different worlds, they don't match each other, but they were attracted and that atraction was dangerous.

When the time comes, L must decide between Eden and his mission: Kill one to save millions. But maybe, that decision isn't his to take after all. 

One of the things I liked about this book was the intensity and the surprises. The author built this plot, all the turns, and let us an ending totally unexpected. I loved the characters, their dilemmas and their passions, the way they fight for find their way back home... it was exciting. S.L. is a great storyteller, and her mind has to many new worlds to create. Can't wait for the next installment in this series so, girl... keep writing!

Twenty-two years ago, I was cut from a cold, sodden womb, and cradled in the filth and poverty of Chicago’s concrete arms. Statistically, I wasn’t supposed to survive these streets past the age of eighteen.

And most importantly, he doesn’t distract himself with mortal weakness. Not until me.

Kill one to save a million.

That’s what he told me when he took me as his prisoner.

Kill one to save a million.

That’s what he’s been trying to tell himself ever since he took me into his arms.

I don’t remember many stories that have touched me the way 'Simon Says' did. It's a fun story that will make you think about friendship, love, relationships... but above all, about finding yourself. Among musical references and dialogues of films, Simon tries to understand how a lie put his world upside down, triggering a series of misunderstandings. 

I found myself taking notes about movies (many of which I've seen hundreds of times) and dialogues between Sean and Simon (as hilarious as deep). I even found a perfect word for when everything goes to hell: FUBAR (I invite you to read the book so you can understand, lol). 

Reading this novel is impossible not to imagine every scene like a film sequence (with its own particular soundtrack). You will laugh out loud, yes, but also reflect... and possibly discover that sometimes you do not need to say a word (to say everything).

You can find this book on Amazon and Goodreads.

According to Goodreads, the next book by Daniel Gothard will be published next year, but you can take a look about the blurb and the cover now:

In 1992, Ben Tallis is coming to terms with the recent death of his father. His ability to cope isn’t helped by the fact he’s secretly in love with one his best friends. At least keeping a daily journal helps him make sense of events, and he believes it’s the perfect preparation for his plan to one become a successful journalist. 

In 2012, Ben has achieved his career ambition—he’s a highly respected journalist and is engaged to a hardworking and ambitious lawyer. But this seemingly "perfect" relationship is fraught with problems. Ben mentions in passing to his editor he has received an invitation to a 20 year school reunion but doesn't want to go. His editor, however, smells a great feature article and insists Ben returns home, faces his past—including his secret teenage yearning—and writes a feature on how much we change and yet in so many ways stay the same. 

As Ben reluctantly re-engages with his past, he soon comes to realize that we can never run from the truth—or who we truly are. 

Justice Drake is a mysterious man. 

He's a legend altough nobody seems to know nothing him, who's him or where to find him. Nobody but the rich housewives with marriage issues.

"Sit there and shut up, honey. One of us is a professional".

I read this book because of the author. I first met S. L. Jennings with Ink and Lies (there's an spanish review about this book here in my blog) and I loved her writing. 

In Taint I found a story narrated in first person, from a male POV, and is full of humor, sarcasm and sex. Justice is a wonderful character... he's cocky, smart, with a dirty mouth and a sexy body. He knows what he want in bed, and he's not afraid to ask for it. I started this book and I couldn't put it down till the end.

Justice is dangerous for the female population. I was in love at the first sight, I mean, first line. Throug this book we find this sexy guy trying to teach to a group of ladies how to seduce to their husbands and keep their attention in and out the bed. He seems to be inmune to the love, actually he's a kind of anti-romance guy, but He find his other half in his classroom... and then the shit hits the fan.

You will enjoy, laugh, cry, sight and fall in love with this book. I started it and I couldn't put it down till the end. I hope you may give a chance to Taint.

Taint on Amazon - Goodreads.

Now that I'm letting Justice with you, I'll make a date with the next book in the Sexual Education Series: Tryst.

You're here, ladies, because you can't f*ck.
